Sewing Tutorial: Patchwork and ribbon dog leash

Being a crazy cat lady, I don’t know that much about dogs. But I do know that dogs have to be walked regularly and that dog leashes get plenty of use. So why not make a dog leash that is pretty? Becky from Patchwork Posse shows how you can make this beautiful patchwork and scrap ribbon dog leash. The fabric pieces are folded into four layers, plus there’s ribbon and plenty of topstitching so the strap is sturdy.
